Offensive Line

Being replaced can happen.....but I doubt it will.  Part of changing the culture is getting the players to "police" themselves.

So Foster should remove himself from the game?  Or does Farmer need to tell Austin to bench Foster?

 
I think there is some talent on the line,  but it's starts with communication & team blocking.  Conrad is way too slow & I question if he is not the communication problem,  as last year our line looked better with him gone.  2 issues that don't happen over : depth & strength.   Plus our te still can not block. 

 
I think they need to play the young guys a lot. What's the point in trying to improve underperforming seniors that won't be here next year? Get guys like wilson, hixson and miller playing time if they're the next ones in line. Are they ready? Nope, but are foster, conrad and farmer ready to play? Doesn't look like it. Start building for the future.

I agree with you...at least give the young guys several series throughout the next couple games to decide who gets the majority of playing time for the 2nd half of the season.

 
Probably going to be necessary to turn Jurgens into a lineman with how little depth we have.  Also need to look at moving the Utah transfer back to o-line, as the d-line has enough depth for next year.

I don't care to hear about the meeting.  Way too much drama in the program and fans are getting pissed off.  Players need to STFU and start playing better.

Agreed. First week it was ‘details’. Last week it was ‘buy in’. Not sure what the theme will be Monday.  

I realize that they have to do these press conferences and answer questions.  The sad truth is they are not a very good team. They haven’t won this year because they haven’t been as good as the teams they’ve played. Looking to the schedule, Bethune Cookman is the only game I can say we should win, no doubt.

Strong take there buddy. 

 
Just read a stat that Michigan had 14 TFLs. With 3 seniors on the interior I think it might be time to at least try reshuffling the lineup.

Yeah they might have a great d-line, but the unit looked more clueless than in the previous 2 games at times.
